MAINTENANCE
V45 MAGNA:
Adjust vertically by loosening both headlight case mounting bolts.
Adjust horizontally by turning the adjusting screw on the headlight rim.
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to direct the beam toward the right side of the rider.
NOTE:
Adjust the headlight beam as specified by local laws and regulations.
WARNING
An improperly adjusted headlight may blind oncoming drivers, or it may fail to light the road for a safe distance.
CLUTCH
Check the clutch fluid reservoir level.
If the level nears the lower level mark, fill the reservoir with DOT-3 BRAKE FLUID to the upper level mark.
Check the entire system for leaks, if the level is low.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the cover until the handlebar has been turned so that the reservoir is level.
Avoid operating the clutch lever with the cap removed. Fluid will squirt out if the lever is pulled.
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not compatible.
SIDE STAND
Check the rubber pad for deterioration or wear. Replace if any wear extends to wear line as shown. Check the side stand spring for damage and loss of tension, and the side stand assembly for freedom of movement. Make sure the side stand is not bent.
NOTE:
• When replacing, use a rubber pad with the mark "Over 260 lbs ONLY".
• Spring tension is correct if the measure-
ments fall within 2-3 kg (4.4-6.6 lb),
when pulling the side stand lower end with
a spring scale.ADJUSTING SCREW
